Am I not supposed to do that? It tasted kind of like beef jerky, but a little more unsettling. Isn't eating whales illegal? It sure tasted like I was breaking the law.

This is the funniest thing I've read in days. Don't know why, but I couldn't stop laughing.Quote:

Just look at that face. He was born to be eaten.
It's all fat
No "swiss, mayo, ranch and lettuce, some sun chips and a fucking powa-ade"? :crying:

International Whaling Commission – Scientific Committee Briefing (IFAW)
Large numbers of endangered minke whales on sale in Japan. DNA surveys funded by IFAW show that 41% of the North Pacific minke whale products on sale are from endangered minke whales. These whales are known as “J” stock minke whales and are found in the Sea of Japan between Korea and Japan. They are listed as a Protection Stock by the IWC and its Scientific Committee is concerned about the threatened status of these whales that live off Japan’s coastline.
For many years these surveys have highlighted the large proportion of endangered whale meat on sale. This year, for the first year Japan has admitted the high level of “by-catches”. Meat from by-caught animals can be sold legally in Japan. Unlike many other countries, there is no programme in place to release whales tangled up in fishing nets and because of their high market value there is an incentive for the whales to be killed and sold.
Market sampling through DNA surveys provides the only means to check the regulation of whaling at the market end of the chain. The IWC Scientific Committee is looking to hold a workshop on the subject. Japan does not endorse the workshop and it looks as though Japanese scientists will not participate in a key part of efforts to use DNA surveillance regulate whaling
760,000 figure thrown out three years ago. At the 2000 IWC held in Adelaide, Australia, it was recognized that there were problems with the abundance estimates for minke whales in the Southern Ocean. Despite the fact that the Scientific Committee said that it no longer had an estimate for the minke whales in this area and that the true number could be “appreciably lower”, This year the IWC Scientific Committee report reveals that there the new estimates are less than half the 760,000 figure. For the last three years, Japan has continued to quote the discredited figure of 760,000
Whalers under-report catches. A paper presented at the IWC Scientific Committee by Isao Kondo and Toshio Kasuya described major under-reporting of sperm, sei and Bryde’s whales taken off the Pacific coast of Japan, in some case over twice the officially reported catch. It was agreed that further work was needed to reconstruct past catches in more detail and an inter-sessional group was given the task of investigating the nature and quality of data provided in the past. [Mr. Kondo is ex-head of three whaling stations; Professor Kasuya is from Teikyo University of Science and Technology. The paper provides data from 1965 to 1978.]
Komatsu stated that the Government of Japan was unable to check and verify the information and it maintains its position at this time that the statistics already provided are still the official data. Japanese scientists will not participate in IWC efforts to uncover the correct number of whales that were caught in Japan’s coastal whaling.
Japan blocks progress in IWC Scientific Committee. In addition to the examples above, Japan is refusing to participate in the important work of the IWC on small cetaceans and does not provide data on its small cetacean catches despite the concerns of the IWC that the catches are completely unsustainable. Japan is not participating in a whale fisheries workshop despite being one of the countries that made the proposals for the workshop.

It could be cuter, or more endangered or something. Anything short of roasting baby seals on a pentagram-shaped spit just isn't hardcore enough.

Still, it seems that the Minke Whale is on the "Red List", so I'm going to write this up as one more reason to think of ResOGlas as a giant tool.
I tried to eat a whale once, but Bill Shatner showed up with Leonard Nimoy in a bath robe and took it to the future.
You probably do more more ecological devestation and cause more human suffering by eating FRESH ASPARAGUS out of your local growing season.
I could go into it, but I won't.... Read that Crazy Book Ishmeal.
yeah but beyond that this is massive lack of respect towards an issue which is serious. this animal is being killed just because the japs like the taste a little. its like wearing mink. it can't be justified. its just one more stupid fucking fetish.Quote:

Right up with terrestrial slaughterhouse jobs....eeewwwww
I can't fault the Japanese for holding on to thier traditions like allowing the Slaughter of whales.
Just LIke I can't fault the US for it's tradion letting it's soldiers get away with raping Okinawan Teenagers.

This thread reminds me of that one pic you drew a long time ago. The one where you're swimming after a whale with a knife & fork in your hands. You still got it?Quote:

I was invited to a restaraunt by a good friend of mine because it was the last time I'd get to hang out with him before I have to go back to the states. Someone brought up the fact that we don't eat whale in America. I replied, "That's because they're endangered". They said that they do not eat Endangered whales, and that a Minke whale is abundant. They asked if I would like to have some, and I said that I was fine. My friend ordered it for me anyway, saying that he was "challenging" me, as they commonly say in Japan. Anyway, it became apparent to me, post starting this thread, that the Minke whale is indeed quite endangered. Just understand that, no, I would not purposely go out of my way to eat an endangered animal. It was just a drunken night with some buddies whom wanted me to try something new. Just because I ate a slab of meat that was in a refrigerator at some Japanese restaraunt doesn't meen that I would like to do it again. It's all the same kind of "murder" everytime you order a hamburger. A living animal has died for a meat company. However, I will eat a hamburger again. The main difference is that you should obviously not harm an endangered creature in anyway, let alone pay money to support such things. Yeah, I was joking around in this thread, but there's not much you can do when all is said and done. Understand? It's not like I walked into some restaraunt here and said "One endangered whale, please!". Just a learning experience.
Fuck the haters.
I'll eat fucking raw whale steak anyday of the week.
Whaling>You
I prefer Giant Panda myself...

Of course, people back in the nineteenth century did it to make money too, but at least were in a little boat fucking fighting with some pissed-off behemoth. THey probably use guns or something nowadays.
oh but I did my fine fellow.Quote:

I didn't know it was on the "red list" until after I ate it. With my luck, I could just imagine reading the newspaper tomorrow and having the headlines say "ResOGlas eats last Minke whale, species now extinct!". :oh_no:
If you look up the word "stubborn" in the dictionary, you'll find the word "Japanese" somewhere in the definition. Trust me, after being in Japan so long I've come to believe that statements such as my friend made about the Minke whale being okay to eat because it's not endangered is something many Japanese must truly believe. My friend that brought me to the restaraunt is a really good guy, and I think that he must just be another victim of Japanese society's programming.Quote:

Some whales they have to pump air into so they don't sink before they can get them on the main processing ship.Quote:
